ABOUT

The research of Modelling and Mechanics group aims to the investigation of new problems in mechanics of materials, optics, and quantum mechanics and its applications in nanosciences, mathematical biology and mathematical geophysics. The main focus of the group is in the continuum modelling of discrete atomistic problems, the constitutive modelling of graphene and germanium, the dynamics of optical waves in photonics graphene and lattices, the dynamic behaviour of magnetic materials and skyrmionic textures, and in the semiclassical modelling of acoustic and elastic waves and quantum systems. The group develops novel models, new analytical methods and numerical techniques, and contributes to the training of graduate students and young researchers, with diverse background in physics, applied mathematics and engineering, working on these problems from different perspectives.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

Continuum Modelling of Discrete Atomistic Problems: Research on this field aims to the development of various techniques from discrete mathematics to provide exact connections of continuum and atomistic descriptions of crystalline solids, such as nanoparticles. We have developed a new concept of lattice-cell average that allows such connections. We are able to provide explicit exact expressions for surface and edge energies of nanocrystals, for general interatomic potentials, and a new expression of the interfacial energy of deformation twins and phase boundaries, with extensions beyond pairwise interactions.

Constitutive continuum modelling of monoatomic and diatomic multilattices: Research in this area employs the arithmetic symmetry group to model materials used in emerging technologies, such as graphene, germanium, hexagonal boron nitride and others, in the discrete level. Confinement to weak transformation neighbourhoods and use of the Cauchy-Born rule allow for the transition from the discrete to the continuum description, where someone is able to work with the geometric symmetry group. The theory of invariants is used to build up generic expressions for the energy that fully capture material’s anisotropy at the continuum level both for the small and finite deformation regime. When there is no available representation theory one may use the theory of integrity basis to build the energy functions. Such energies describe in the most general way the mechanical response of materials at the microscale when they are scaled up to the continuum.

Semi-inverse methods: Closed form solutions that correspond to simple mechanical experiments are obtained from the system of momentum’s differential equations using semi-inverse methods. Simple tension/compression, indentation, wrinkling\buckling are examples of simple but important tests for the characterization of materials at the microscale. They serve as a guide for testing continuum theories of micro, nano materials against available experimental or computational results.

Optical beams and Structured light fields: Research in this area aims to the theoretical understanding and numerical simulation of optical waves in space and space-time, and their applications in different branches of optical engineering and photonics. The core of this activity concerns the generation of optical waves with engineered properties such as beam width, trajectory, and maximum amplitude, as well as the propagation of invariant optical fields of the Airy and Bessel-type, and their applications in high-resolution microscopy and stealth technologies .

Periodic lattices: Research in this area deals with specific nonlinear aspects of light propagating in complex systems with periodic optical indices. Especially we focus on the dynamics in different types of lattices and the understanding of topological phenomena, gauge fields, dynamic localization and coherent destruction of tunneling, and also the interplay between pseudospin, isospin, and vorticity in photonic graphene.

Nonlinear dynamics in magnetic materials: Research in this area aims to the investigation of the rich micromagnetic structure and the description of a variety of patterns at the mesoscale and the nanoscale. Physico-mathematical studies in this field focus on magnetic solitons, which are topological in nature, and they are motivated by and combined with the strong technological interest from the high-tech industry on magnetic materials, including magnetic storage, magnetoresistive-RAM applications, spin-torque oscillators, and magnetic diodes. The models include domain walls in one spatial dimension, vortices and skyrmions in two dimensions, and vortex rings in three dimensions, and they are modeled by various forms and generalisations of the Landau-Lifshitz equation, which lead to different interesting and useful dynamics of topological magnetic solitons.

Solitons in condensed matter physics: Topological solitons arise in a great variety of condensed matter systems, as well as in cosmology and in nonlinear optics. The research in this direction focus on the investigation of ultra-cold gases that form Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), which are of particular interest to quantum technology. Quantised vortices (or superfluid vortices) are found as solutions of Gross-Pitaevskii models. The tunability of gaseous BECs allows for complicated structures, such as vortex rings that propagate in a cylindrical BEC, to be formed. The study of these systems is based on the theory of conservation laws and the numerical simulation of the nonlinear model.

Semiclassical modeling of wave and quantum systems: Research in this direction focuses on the semiclassical asymptotics of wave and Schrodinger equations, via phase space techniques, which are very powerful for the construction of uniform (caustic-free) solutions of the Cauchy problem with highly oscillatory data, and the investigation of propagating singularities and beam-type solutions, in acoustics, seismology, optics and quantum mechanics. Techniques from microlocal analysis (Fourier integral operators) and deformation quantization (Wigner and wave-packet transforms) are employed to device phase space equations governing energy density and flux propagation. Asymptotic solutions are constructed using stationary phase approximations for complex phases, that are able to describe essential wave and quantum effects in phase space far away from classical Lagrangian manifolds.

Education and Training: The group contributes to the education and training of undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students as well as of PhD candidates and Postdoctoral researchers.
